What's for tea at your house tonight?

Homemade mac and cheese with broccoli and peas thrown in.  The kiddo is having fish fingers and chips with peas.  Just want some peace tonight! 

Roast pork, dry roasted tatties, peas, & carrots, Dh is having leeks as well but I don't like them.    Dh is such an excellent cook!! 

Leftover chili from last night!!! 

I'm trying a slow cooker lasagna recipe that popped up on Sparkpeople.com the other day.

Ooh. Let me know how it turns out.

I agree with Balmerhon, let us know how it turns our Bmore. 

Well, it was quite tasty. Here's the thing though, I'm not sure the benefits of making it in the slow cooker outweigh making it in the oven. In fact, the biggest pro would be you could make lasagna in the summer without heating up your house with the oven. The cons are you still have to cook the meat sauce before you put it together. And it only takes 3.5 hours to cook on low, so it's not something you can set to go in the morning before work, then have it ready when you get home.

So, in this instance I would think that regular lasagna is equally as good and faster to make.

I've made a winter squash and carrot soup- using up odds and sods in my house, trying to stretch until payday

Had stir fry veggies with Uncle Ben's Chinese
style rice.

PIZZA!!!

We had pasta with my homemade marinara (with zucchini in) and salad.

We planned all our meals for the week and put it up on the fridge, and it's made us eat better and has made life so much easier! I actually cook when I get home when there is a plan.

I keep intending to do this, and then just being lazy. I think if I could plan it with almost no effort, and shop for it with the same no effort, I'd follow the plan, it's the prepwork that gets me.

Chicken and scalloped potatoes. 
Trying to use up the meat in the freezer as we are transitioning into becoming vegetarians.

Haha! That's how I am. Having the meals planned is a huge help to my life though. I get home and am actually motivated to start dinner, because don't have to have the "what do you want for dinner?" conversation. Plus, a lot of things can at least be started by me OR V if we at least know what we're having. It takes off some pressure. I lead a very exciting life I know.

The excitement for tonight will be Shrimp Fajitas and leftover potatoes.

Dh made steak, mixed veg and noodles. He
even created a sauce made of garlic, oj, corriander
and pepper. I had a late shift at work tonight, and it
was ace coming home to a brilliant meal!

I made a cheese-less lasagna. Not because I meant to, but because I forgot I had no cheese.  It turned out WAY better than it sounds!
